BLUF (NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE): If you have the disposable income for it, look up which funds are hurting most because of the combined short squeeze (and if you don't know which stocks are being squeezed, just look at which ones the trading apps are restricting), find out which stocks the hedge funds are holding large shares in and sell them, and whatever they are shorting, buy.
For those of you playing, the Game of Stonks, Citadel Advisors LLC, one of the hedge funds being targeted by the Gamestop squeeze, is a major stakeholder in silver and right now Big Media(TM) is running a blitz campaign to shift attention away from shorted stock.
"Reddit traders send mining stocks higher as silver futures jump to eight-year high"
"SLV, AG, ASM, PSLV: Silver Prices Soar as Reddit Investors Scoop Up the Precious Metal"
"Spike in silver means everyone should take the Reddit traders seriously, El-Erian says"
"Silver prices: Big surge as Reddit army targets precious metals"
"Now it’s #silversqueeze: Reddit mania spreads to precious metals"
Notice the positive, or at least non-negative, spin that Reddit knows something and that the price of the stock is going up despite spending the last several days halting trade on trading apps and bashing the buyers with the usual insults and actually defending the hedge funds.

(I also recommend watching Louis Rossmann who has several videos about media defense and the actions of the market.)
A normie investor might see an opportunity to jump on this rising tide and make some money, and of course stick it to Wall Street. However, when you go over to the WSB subreddit, the entire front page right now is telling people to avoid silver.

Notice in particular a post from yesterday that details Citadel is a major holder in SLV
https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l9gv98/citadel_is_the_5th_largest_owner_of_slv_its/
The idea as I understand it seems to be Citadel trying to pump and dump their silver positions to cover their losses on the short stocks and leave a lot of regular people, just now jumping into a market, holding the bag when they do.
Additionally, people have been throwing money into Dogecoin and trying to bump the price. Admittedly I've had a soft spot for Dogecoin as I've been around since the beginning and had a little bit invested just in case, but at the end of the day it is a meme currency. This too is a distraction to draw investment away from GME and the other shorted stocks by showing how fun it is and big numbers get bigger, but it does nothing to actually bleed these hedge funds.

A mix is good, but in total economic collapse, lead becomes valuable before gold becomes practical.
A practical amount of gold will buy you a house. A practical amount of silver will buy you food.
